Thermal smoother and comb

ABSTRACT

Disclosed is an article to enable a cosmetologist to thermally comb wave pattern from the hairshaft. Including is a comb shelf portion to place hair upon to further smooth the outer surface of the hairshaft, with the smoothing shell and having dual handles to manipulate movement.

FIELD OF INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to an article to assist acosmetologist in thermally removing natural wave or curl formation outof the scalp hair shaft. Particularly the invention relates to thermallycombing out waves or curl, and placing that section of hair onto theshelf portion of the metal comb and having the smoothing shell closedupon the comb shelf and smoothing that section of hair placed betweenthereof. Closing the cuticle layer of the hair shaft thereby creatingsmoothness, sheen and shine on beautiful looking healthy hair. Giving ita finished look.

BACKGROUND

[0002] Thermally removing natural wave or curl in the scalp hair shaftis a common practice in the hair salons today. Generally a cosmetologiststraighten the hair with a pressing comb, often the hair is not straightenough and may need to be reworked. Also since the cuticle layer of thehairshaft is not closed, the hair lack luster, smoothness, and shine.Significant time is required to complete a thermal hairstyle, includingany rework which maybe necessary.

SUMMARY OF INVENTION

[0003] The article of the present invention enables the cosmetologist toachieve a finish look on a thermal hairstyle, with luster and shine in ashorter time than has been possible previously. This thermal smootherand comb permits the cosmetologist the ability to move quickly instyling the hair because the article does two jobs. That is when thesmoother and comb is heated, the heat lasting time is sufficient induration for removing wave and smoothing the cuticle layer of thehairshaft in one heating period. Rather than to remove the waveformation in the complete head of scalp hairs then finding an alternatemethod to close the cuticle layer. Many times the hair is dull andlifeless, shortly there of, due to excessive hairsprays or excessiveoils, on the hairshaft.

DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0010] Thermal hairstyling is a method of temporarily changing the shapeof scalp hair with different tools constructed of metal. Heated in athermostatically controlled heating stove, to a reasonably safe andusable hot temperature. A temperature that will not scorch soft whitesanix paper or will not damage human hair. Thereby the heated tool isapplied to the hairshaft to create aa desired style. A straight, wavy,or curly style, suitable to the subject's wishes.

[0011] The Thermal smoother and comb is an article formed of a hardmetal. In a preferred embodiment brass or steel was selected, a typewhich hold the heat.

[0012] A rod extended from the comb and bent in an upward angle andcurved parallel to handle 30, form a a handle 35 for the comb 25 andcomb shelf 20. When the smoother shell is not in use, it rest on thecomb shelf (FIG. 3) and both handles 30 and 35 are held closed together.The teeth section 25 is then gently and carefully combed through smallsections of wavy or curly hair E (FIG. 4).

[0013] A rod extended from the smoother shell 15 bent in an angle downand curved parallel to form the handle 30, for the smoother 15 and 10.When both handles 30 and 35 are held open the previously combed hair Eis placed onto the comb shelf portion of the comb 20 FIG. 5. The innersurface 10 of the smoother shell 15 is carefully and gently closed ontothe hair E and comb shelf 20 FIG. 6. The smoother and comb is thengently and carefully drawn through the entire length of the hair shaftE, smoothing, polishing and closing the cuticle layer of the hairshaftE. A small hole drilled through the crossing axes of both handles 38 anda pivot pin allow the opening and closing manipulative movementsrequired to remove wave with the comb 25 and smooth the hairshaft Eplaced on the comb shelf 20. There after the cosmetologist can performother finishing steps necessary to complete the artistic endeavor.

I claim
 1. An article to enable a cosmetologist to alternately performtwo different service to the hairshaft
 1. Thermally comb out naturalwave pattern from the hairshaft of a subject and
 2. Close the hairshaftby smoothing its outer surface layer. It comprises: A comb section intowhich hair is combed through; A comb shelf portion to support thehairshaft while smoothing its outer surface A smoother shell and innersurface to hold and smooth the hairshaft.
 2. An article as in claim 1where in it has dual handles connected with a pivoting pin at itscrossing axes, which allows manipulative movements.
